What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Boot with an HSDPA (HSO) USB modem plugged in. 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Lsmod should show hso as loaded. Sometimes hso is not loaded, due to the order of modaliases.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Any Puppy 4.3.1. 4.2.1, 4.1.2.

Please provide any additional information below. A few such modems trigger loading of both the usb-storage and hso modules, but pup_event_backend_modprobe loads only one of them, and not always the same one. While usb-storage is already preloaded by puppy, hso must always be loaded by pup_event_backend_modprobe, instead of usb-storage. Hybrid-modem drivers dependent on module usbserial are already ensured to be loaded; hso is not, but also requires that special treatment, or may never be loaded.
